Working hard to achieve the American dream can result in a empty life as your life is consumed by your job]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009817 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009819 1.  ¨I know how much you will miss him¨ , and she answered 'I already have, missing him all these years', She must have given part of herself up that cared too much for the man"

2.  The evidence establishes an empty and sad tone because it shows that he has already been gone from her life and she already has been missing him, and the part where it says she cared too much emphasizes this.

3.  By establishing the tone the author achieves his goal of showing the shell of a life many workers live and any other tone would fail to reflect this.]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009819 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009820 1. The author is trying to say that by working as hard as possible to achieve the american dream, people often sacrifice their lives and meaningful connections ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009820 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009821 This text connects to Assembly room women because they both comment on  the effects work has on ones life, it being time sink that leaves an emptiness in your life. This text also connects to Sinclair's story on Jurgis who spent his whole life working along with child of the Romans in which a mean ate his sandwich and worked on the railroad going no where in life.]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009821 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009822 1. Women feel restricted and controlled by men even if they are in a good and healthy relationship. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009822 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009823 1. "She could see in the open square before her house tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life."
"There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing window."
2. The setting helps deliver the author's message because usually when someone dies, they would describe their day as gloomy and dark. But with this story it's described as a sunny day which symbolizes how she feels free and relieved from her husbands death.]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009823 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009825 1. We would think that Mrs. Mallard would be devastated from her husbands death, but in fact she feels more relieved because she is free from him.

2.  Dramatic irony contributes to the theme because at the end of the story Mrs. Mallard starts to rejoice of the freedom she has, but when her husband comes back she dies from a heart attack "of the joy that kills". ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009825 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009826 1.  Women are often held back and are usually restricted from doing things they want. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009826 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009828 This text can connect to "The Yellow Wallpaper" because both of these texts talk about how women are restricted in doing certain things. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009828 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009829 1.   The labor done by the women in the factory was monotonous and insignificant ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009829 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009830 1.   "Blue net caps on heads bent over tables" "Each needing soldering needing counting needing boxing"

2. The mood seems to be somewhat angry or critical of how hard the women had to work.

3.  The mood relates back to theme because the women had to do so much work but the work they did ended up not even being important.]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009830 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009831 1.  Doro writes her poem with no punctuation to mirror what happens in an assembly line. It just goes from one line to the other just like an assembly line never stops moving.

2.  It makes the poem more descriptive and allows the reader to better understand what goes on during an assembly line. It also emphasizes the monotonous work the women had to do.]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009831 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009832 1.  Women in the time period had to do all this but the products that they made meant nothing. They were doing all this hard work that is meaningless to them. The work they are doing is very insignificant. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009832 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009833 This text connects to "The Company Man" because in both texts it shows how work drains people. No matter if the people enjoy the work or if they dread it.
It can also be connected to "Mill Doors" because the people go to the factory and never come. The work is so mindless and it has a mental toll on the workers. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009833 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009834 1.  Women are help back by society and are prevented from moving forward and improving their circumstances.]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009834 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009835 1. "There comes John, and I must put this away, ---he hates to have me write a word."
2.  She continuously feels trapped and is paranoid about him being mad because he is controlling her, which prevents her from talking about the problems and fixing them. So, in the end she doesn't get better, only worse, because of this superior male rule, and is unable to move forward. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009835 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009836 1. "John does not know how much I really suffer. He knows there is no REASON to suffer, and that satisfies him." 
2.  He ignores her and doesn't listen to her because "he knows best" which stops her from over coming that problem because it is continuously ignored. She doesn't control herself, instead he controls her, which stops her from improving her circumstance and from moving forward. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009836 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009837 1.  Men controlling and restricting women
2. Get in the way and keep them in one place which stops them from progressing. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009837 karen_taboada https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009838 This text can connect to "The Story of an Hour" because in both they talk about how women are held back by men in any situation, good or bad. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_taboada/epf43yxtd9ri/wish/237009838
